Shilbottle Colliery
The Shilbottle Colliery branch was the most Northern colliery line in England; the mine closed in 1981, but the branch can be walked most of the way to the ECML. This gate is on the East side of the level crossing across the lane which allowed road access to the colliery, of which nothing remains. The small blue sign says 'Please close the gate'. Perhaps they should have added the word 'gently'.
